For abbreviations, see Table 1 and 2. In each multivariate linear regression modeling, potentially independent variables according to the univariable analysis (p<0.10, see Table 3) were introduced into the starting model and then eliminated manually using the backward step-by-step approach, depending on the largest P value. "/" indicates that a variable is not significantly associated with non-HDL-C level in given model.
